Ok, dumb question for the day- Do ALL Han have Black Hair ??? follow up question if the answer is Yes... WHY ?
I hope some serious Scientist type guys can answer this. Xiexie~
Yes. Until it turns grey anyway. The only exception would be if there was an albino.
Why? Genetics. The same reason they all have brown eyes.
Some of them seem to have a dark brown rather than true black hair, but yes, I'd say they all have dark hair.

Jnusb416,
I'm really glad that some Chinese women and South Korean women as well have dark/light brown hair. I find that very attractive. :)

It's all to do with how the climate is and it's in harmony with the land the people live in.
Different skins help humans survive in different climates and environments.
Fair skin, the lightest kind from northern Europe, you can see how it's not a place with intense sun light, so there for the people there don't require the pigmentation to protect them.
If you look at the tropics, people who are from there naturally have more pigmented skin. They are naturally built to survive in the sunny conditions. More pigment in your skin also means more pigment in your hair.
If you look at Africa and native Australians the aboriginals, are very dark, this is because of the harsh heat and sun. The more pigmentation there is, the more protected you are from the harshness of the sun. It's your skins natural SPF.
We are all built to survive in the climates we are living in. And pigments in skin also means more pigments in hair. So lighter your skin, lesser the pigments, less protection to harsh UV and lighter hair. More darker/pigmented skin, more pigmented hair, this means more protection to the warmer or harsher climates.
I hope this helps answer and not too confusing ....
